Notable Quotes

  • R. Nick Horsley, CEO and Director: "The acquisition of the Saunders and Nub projects further strengthens our position in British Columbia's prolific Toodoggone district. The Saunders property is strategically located along a well-established geological corridor that hosts numerous high-grade gold-copper deposits, including past-producing mines and advanced-stage exploration projects. This proven setting, combined with encouraging historical data, gives us strong geological conviction as we move into our next phase of exploration."
